Thanks to a 2022 settlement with Fortnite creator Epic Games, the Federal Trade Commission is distributing refunds totaling approximately $114 to affected players of the game.
To file a claim, applicants need to complete an official FTC online form using a claim number or Epic Account ID, and must be 18 or older.
The FTC warns claimants that additional payments are expected in 2025 after claims are reviewed and validated, emphasizing the importance of timely acceptance of payment.
The settlement arose from allegations that Fortnite violated the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act by using deceptive design practices to induce unintentional in-game purchases.
